Illicit crops are part of the illegal drug trafficking chain in the world, with negative impacts ranging from the deterioration of strategic conservation ecosystems or even agricultural production, through the breakdown of the legal, social, political and economic order, to the indiscriminate increase of armed violence with which illegal groups impose and subjugate entire populations. This, together with the generally low presence of the state, makes these communities vulnerable and without legal productive options, they are exposed and subjected to the actions of international drug trafficking crime.
